A Beautiful Surprise: Samantha’s Pregnancy Journey
This heartwarming send-off comes at an incredibly special time for the couple. After tying the knot in an intimate ceremony at the Linga Bhairavi Temple at the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore on December 1, 2025, Samantha and Raj publicly confirmed their pregnancy in June 2026.
The actress recently shared that the pregnancy was a beautiful, unexpected chapter for them. In a recent interview, she revealed that she and Raj had reached a place of contentment in their marriage where they were perfectly happy with the possibility of not having children. The unexpected news came as a delightful surprise to both of them.
The couple recently celebrated this milestone with a traditional Seemantham (baby shower) ceremony surrounded by close family and friends. The actress also playfully shared her current pregnancy cravings, noting a strong preference for idli for breakfast, curd rice for lunch, and dosa for dinner.

Professional Milestones and Maternity Leave
This year has been equally monumental for the couple on the professional front. They recently joined forces for the Telugu film Maa Inti Bangaaram, directed by BV Nandini Reddy. The project marked Samantha’s return as a lead actor and was produced under her and Raj’s own banner, Tralala Moving Pictures. The movie achieved massive box office success, crossing the Rs 100 crore mark worldwide.
Interestingly, Samantha was already pregnant during portions of the film’s shoot, with the director recalling that the crew took extra care after the actress experienced morning sickness on set. With the film’s promotional run concluded, Samantha has officially confirmed that she will be taking a short maternity break from acting to focus entirely on her health and her growing family.
